    Yeah. They're opening up a facility at VNY, in the old Pacific Jet (RIP) complex. Anybody know anything about that? It's not like VNY doesn't already have 5 other FBO's. Anybody know what it's like working for them on the line? Pay? Benefits? TIA.

    Petersen Aviation VNY

    Heard through the rumor mill that Petersen closed up their Part 135 charter dept. Any truth to the rumor or anything more to the rumor? I also heard that the facility and the charter fleet (a couple of GIV's and a couple of Hawkers) is up for grabs for about $125 mil.
